Abstract

This article analyses the intonation of questions which do not seek information in educated Santiago de Chile Spanish. Functional and structural aspects and their relation to pitch patterns are considered. The sample consists of 93 rhetorical and formulaic questions (Rabanales, 1996) taken from a 25-hour corpus of real speech gathered as part of FONDECYT project 197/1053 which is being carried out at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. The utterances are analysed both auditorily and acoustically and a categorisation is attempted. The notation system used is that known as ToBI (Pierrehumbert, 1980; Ortiz-Lira, 1999, etc.). This study complements a previous analysis of questions [Cid et al., 1999].
